[Intro]

Everybody one time

Bring your hands to the sky

Yeah, yeah

And to the left, and to the right

And to the left, and to the right

Woo

[Verse]

I been tryna elevate (elevate, evade)

All they do is negate (negate, negate)

Always refusing to appreciate (uh)

Guess I gotta set the record straight (ima set it, ima set it)

Nothing happens, without a reason (no, no)

There’s a reason, behind every season (there is)

There’s a reason, for why you fail (yeah, yeah)

Put you on the path to prevail (prevail)

You might’ve lost track and derailed

Lost focus, feeling so unwell

So lost, feeling life is stale

Everyone feels that, lemme explain (yeah)

No denying, all of us have demons (we do, we do)

We tend to deal with them with different proceedings (huh)

We have our outlets and our reasons (our reasons)

To plug out and recharge whenever we needa

[Chorus]

Gotta keep our head held high

Keep our game strong

Whenever failure strikes

Life goes on and on

(On and on)

Work real hard

We’ll get what we want

They gon’ try to stop us

We will reach the stars

[Verse]

You needa focus on your inner workings (inner workings)

Keeping developing yourself as a person (as a person)

I know, I know, It can be burden (yeah, yeah)

And people being dickheads can be disturbing (woo, woo)

Making fun, hit and run, never understanding what they’ve done, sayin’ Its one and done, promising that they’ll be gone

I’m so done

I’m so done

I’m done, nah (nah)

I, I can’t take it (take it, no)

I, I can’t fake it (fake it, no)

I, I can’t break it (no, no, no, no, no)

I'm gonna make it

Parents, (yeah) looking at me proudly

A wife, (woo) looking at me gladly (yeah)

Friends, (uh) that no longer doubt me

That is what I want, and no ones gonna stop me

[Chorus]

Gotta keep our head held high

Keep our game strong

Whenever failure strikes

Life’s goes on and on

(It goes)

Work real hard

We’ll get what we want

They gon’ try to stop us

We will reach the stars

[Bridge]

You don’t understand the pain

All people want is financial gain

I wanna gain, acceptance and strength

Stereotypes have messed up my head

(I need help)

Oh well

If you’re gonna judge me, I wish you well

Break it off

And I reach the stars

I know this is only the start

Woo

[Chorus]

Gotta keep our head held high

Keep our game strong

Whenever failure strikes

Life’s goes on and on

(Woo)

Work real hard

We’ll get what we want

They gon’ try to stop us

We will reach the stars

[Outro]

Yeah, like yeah (tell 'em)

Yeah, like woah (yeah, yeah, tell 'em)

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy

You are never gonna make it in show-biz, with that type of attitude

It's kinda sad the way you try, the only reason why people listen to you, is cause they feel sorry for you, haha
